What is the grappler like and can you link a few videos of him? I'd like to see what he's capable of...

Her 5B is awesome, but it can be beat out by a yomi'ed 5C. Her antiair (either 2B or 2C, can't remember) is pretty awesome too. I haven't tested it yet, but today this Tsubaki player kept doing a particular short blockstring then IAD'ed backwards. Collider and 5C couldn't punish it, even with IB. Her "charging star" (the move like Captain America's MVC2/3) is hard to predict and react to. IB as much as possible, or she gets free pressure every time. Backdash 360 beats it, but it's tough. 6A is terrible in this matchup... never use it. Even correctly baiting a dp gets you punished since she can do the dp followup. Speaking of dp, we can't sledge through the powered up version any more (why this change was made is far beyond me). Watch the followups and when she uses the charges. Doesn't one of these charged followups make it safe? She will always have charges. There's nothing we can do here, as you've pointed out. Just walk forward.

In other news, I would rather fight Mu, Lambda, and Tao than Tsubaki. Tsubaki just destroys Tager now. Outright destroys.

Everybody expects 360 on wakeup. Neutral tech into collider is suicide. 720, I don't always have 50 heat AND it's unsafe. MTW, unsafe unless I have 100 heat. So yeah, Tager doesn't have the best options here, but they are options nonetheless. About the whole blocking thing, of course I get hit by stuff too (epecially online). But, there's no denying I have the best defense out of all of us mid TN players. Don't take that as gloating or anything, but think about who I've used in all three games. I've spent more time blocking/IB'ing than most people. Hell, Midnight complained that he cannot use Litchi overheads on me, and Chandler has seen me react to Gauntlet Hades many times (even so far as to punish it with collider).

Do characters need DPs to get out of pressure now? There's this thing called blocking and breaking grabs. Overheads aren't hard to block offline, and neither is breaking grabs. For three games, I've had to get out of pressure the old fashioned way: blocking/instant blocking, breaking grabs, and barriering. Then, to get out of this pressure, I had to find an opening. Bang should be able to IB 2A in places where Jin can punish.

So, I've heard of Tsuuna, but I really never knew who he was. GG_Leo7 (formerly Leotard, a former Tager player) had a room up with Tsuuna in it. While he's a good Bang, I went about 6-4 with him using Tager. The Bang matchup feels so much easier now...

Any of you Kentucky guys coming down for MWC in 2 weeks? http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11867-MWC-SBO-JAPANESE-QUAL-SUPER-TURBO!-JUN-24-26-Fri-Sat-Sun-Nashville-TN-BBCS2-AH3-MVC3

I JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TODAY! I blamed netplay though...

I didn't know you wanted an invite. You were playing CoD. I thought you hated netplay anyway. LOL. Practice more CS2 so you become less American. On another note, the 26th is my dad's birthday, but I told him the tournament is more important. He laughed and said he didn't care what I did on his birthday.
